]]>It appears 1995 was the early days of who we now refer to as “Jetman.” Back in the 90′s, skysurfing was big and Swiss pilot/skydiver Yves Rossy was one of the early adopters. Back then, there was some discussion in Switzerland about the purchase of new F18 fighter jets for the airforce. Yves built a model fighter jet and skysurfed on top of it… just so he would be the first Swiss pilot to fly an F18 in Switzerland (for some reason, it ended up being a Mirage III model — the same plane Yves was flying in the airforce at the time). Now you know. #TBT

]]>I’m sorry, say what?! You mean we can actually learn to fly like Jetman? Hell YES! It looks like Jetman Yves Rossy is working on an unpowered version of his carbon wing and opening a school to teach people how to fly it. Jetman has earned worldwide recognition for developing and flying a jet-powered wing across major landmarks like the english channel and a section of the grand canyon. Not to mention he has looped and barrel-rolled the powered version and sustained in-flight climbs.

]]>Swiss adventurer and former fighter pilot Yves “Jetman” Rossy completed an 8 minute flight over the Grand Canyon on Saturday – his first flight in the United States with his custom jet-powered carbon wing. Yves flew more than 195 feet (60 meters) above the canyon and reached speeds of up to 190 mph (305 km/h).

One of Rossy’s biggest hurdles for the canyon flight was receiving certification; in the end, the FAA classified the pilot and wing as an aircraft… and even gave him a registration number. How cool is that?!

The 51-year-old’s previous achievements in his jet-powered wing include a trip across the English Channel and flight over Lake Geneva in Switzerland. He says the U.S. flight is among the most memorable experiences of his life.
